Chapter 278: Should I Hold You?
Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Should I Hold You?
Whether to have a child or not,
Sophia Hart admitted she was a bit scared.
She got into the car, closed her eyes, and pretended to sleep, only to actually fall asleep.
The car headed to the hospital.
Sophia Hart slept sweetly, her head tilted in the car.
Andrew Benson handled business matters and didn’t disturb her sleep.
When they arrived at the hospital, seeing Sophia Hart wasn’t yet awake, Andrew Benson raised an eyebrow, opened the refrigerator, and took out a stick of ham.
He tore open the ham’s packaging and placed it at her lips.
"Lavinia, open your mouth and eat," Andrew Benson whispered coaxingly while pinching her ear.
Sophia Hart, just woken up, usually didn’t open her eyes immediately but cooperatively opened her mouth.
Exceptionally obedient.
In the past, after they had done that thing, Andrew Benson often fed her water and food, and Sophia Hart instinctively opened her mouth to eat.
She took a bite of the ham, chewed mechanically.
Andrew Benson chuckled softly, "How is it? Tasty?"
After waiting a moment,
Sophia Hart finally gave in and opened her eyes. She looked at Andrew Benson, who was very close, and nodded slightly, albeit confusedly, "It’s fine."
Andrew Benson’s palm cradled the back of her head, and he leaned over to scoop the food from her mouth.
It carried a slight hint of punishment.
Once she was fully awake, they straightened their clothes and got out of the car.
Sophia Hart entered the hospital with a tense face.
Though Andrew Benson seemed leisurely, his long legs kept him right behind her.
They entered Julia Land’s hospital room one after the other.
Inside, the doctor was explaining in detail about Julia’s physical condition.
Julia was recovering well.
The doctor closed the medical record book, smiled, and said, "Miss Land, your recovery is going well. Remember to rest well and avoid strenuous exercise as much as possible."
Julia nodded in appreciation, "Thank you."
Once the doctor left the room.
James Thompson turned to Sophia Hart and Andrew Benson, "You two, go out first."
Sophia Hart and company obediently left the room and closed the door.
James Thompson walked to the bedside and carefully lifted Julia, taking her to the bathroom.
He furrowed his brows, full of concern, "Do you want to be careful on your own, or should I carry you to handle it?"
He originally planned to carry her directly for convenience, but she refused.
Julia still had her pride; she stubbornly shook her head, "I can manage myself, no need for your help."
She feared she couldn’t urinate while being held.
James Thompson was still worried, "Then can I stand inside?"
Julia’s knee hadn’t completely healed since she slipped in the bathroom last time and later got hurt again by being pressed by a wheelchair. James Thompson feared she might fall again while using the bathroom.
"Mr. Thompson, stop dilly-dallying, I’m in a hurry," Julia didn’t continue to chat with the man.
James Thompson sighed helplessly but respected her decision.
He gently placed her next to the toilet and let her hold onto the rail, "I’ll wait outside for you, call me if you need anything."
Julia nodded, waiting for James Thompson to leave the bathroom, then closed the door and carefully handled things herself.
James Thompson stood outside, hearing Julia calling him from inside, "Mr. Thompson, you can come in now."
He immediately came in and carried her back to the bed.
After Julia was settled, James Thompson went to open the door and called Sophia Hart and the others back in.
Sophia Hart grabbed Andrew Benson’s arm and whispered, "Wait outside for me, I have something private to discuss with Sister Julia."
Andrew Benson’s eyes flickered, and he smiled gently, "Alright."
Sophia Hart walked into the hospital room, closed the door, cutting off Andrew Benson’s sight.
She walked to Julia’s bedside and lowered her voice, "Sister Julia, Blake Lincoln has agreed to an alliance marriage with me, but there’s another problem; Andrew Benson wants to take me to Orly in half a month. What should I do? If he follows me back to Capital City during this time..."
Julia pondered for a moment then gave Sophia an idea, "You can contact his mother."
Sophia frowned, slightly hesitant, "Contact his mother? Will she help me?"
Julia explained, "Andrew Benson’s mother has always opposed the two of you being together. She might help you by calling her son back to Orly."
Sophia thought about it and nodded, relieved, "Okay, I’ll contact his mother tonight. Thank you, Sister Julia."
When he came back to search for her, the matter would already be settled.
Meanwhile,
Standing outside the hospital room, Andrew Benson sent a message to his subordinate.
He sent someone to Capital City to monitor the Lincoln family’s movements, especially Blake Lincoln.

It wasn’t long after Sophia Hart and Andrew Benson left the hospital that a bodyguard stationed outside the room knocked and entered, "Miss Land, there is a Miss Shaw outside who would like to see you."
Julia closed her laptop with curiosity, "Let her in."
Elizabeth Shaw entered the room and when she saw James Thompson inside, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.
Then it dawned on her.
So, it turns out Director Land was the boss’s woman.
Thinking of how everyone had previously misunderstood that she was the boss’s woman, Elizabeth Shaw now felt extremely awkward seeing Julia.
She came up today to apologize about the accident with the wheelchair.
She stood by the bed, bowed deeply, and sincerely apologized, "Director Land, hello, I am Elizabeth Shaw. I came today to apologize for the incident a few days ago. I’m sorry you were hurt."
Julia smiled faintly and gestured for her to sit, "Sit down, Miss Shaw. You were also a victim in the incident a few days ago, I don’t blame you."
Elizabeth Shaw did not sit; her face sincerely carried an apologetic expression, "I’m really sorry for the trouble caused, I hope you recover soon."
Her eyes held guilt, and her tone was earnest.
Julia chuckled softly, "It wasn’t intentional, your apology is accepted."
Before Elizabeth Shaw left the room, Julia gave her a WeChat number she could use for work, "Miss Shaw, you were very professional when explaining the test machine issue the other day, maybe we can communicate in the future."
Elizabeth Shaw walked out of the hospital room and into the elevator, dazedly staring at the sticky note in her hand.
The sticky note had Julia’s WeChat number.
She blinked and took out her phone to add Julia’s WeChat.
**
Inside the hospital room, Julia accepted Elizabeth Shaw’s friend request.
She put down her phone, her lips curving slightly, and she looked at James Thompson, "Mr. Thompson, did Jasper Winters find out if Elizabeth Shaw had any issues?"
